OK, let's break this up a bit. First, lycoris. =0D
It's easy to install, but sounds like you are=0D
having trouble downloading the image right. I=0D
have a set of CDs with Lycoris on it, if you're=0D
near Ahwatukee, maybe I could lend them to you to=0D
try an install =0D
=0D
Next, the "find" command. Yes, it's baffling as=0D
heck if you're used to Windows GUI search tools. =0D
But it's way more powerful. Using the Linux=0D
search tools, like the ones that come with the=0D
KDE and Gnome desktops, are VERY similar to=0D
Windows versions. Try those. If you must search=0D
from the command line, you'll need to learn the=0D
ropes. Try the "locate" command for simple=0D
searches. And read the manuals on these search=0D
tools to learn more on Linux searching ("man=0D
find" "man locate" "man which") =0D
=0D
Next, getting things to work in Mandrake. Let's=0D
start with the network card. Do you know what=0D
kind you have? If it works under Linux? (A few=0D
do not.) Did you see Mandrake recognize it=0D
during installation? What do you get if you=0D
type this at a command line: "ifconfig" (when=0D
logged in as root) Can you ping 127.0.0.1? =0D
=0D
=0D
=2E. =0D
